[quote=Anonymous]Alright, so a few things stand out. 1) You know that you're doing the *right* thing for you and your family. You don't want to be too strict and raise robot kids. I agree with you. 2) However, don't throw your nephews under the bus for this. What on earth do speech delays have to do with saying yes ma'am and no sir? 3) And, people can say "yes ma'am" and still be warm people. You're conflating a bunch of stuff. So the bottom line is, you don't want to change your parenting. You think you're doing it right. Great. Then don't change it. But, don't go looking for compliments where you aren't going to get them. The older generation thinks you're doing it wrong. You think they did it wrong. No point in trying to change each other's minds, right? And finally, I would "cave" in one aspect, and make sure your kids address their grandparents how they wish to be addressed. Whether it's yes ma'am or no sir or whatever. Your kid can learn that one rule.[/quote]
